"Is everybody all right?!" Dom asked everybody as they are his family and he doesn't want them to be hurt. The team manage to find a hideout that is roomy enough for their cars and their equipment kind of like the one they have used for the Rio heist. The entire team confirmed it although Brian and Mia are mourning over the kidnapping of their beloved son where the latter is in tears.
"Come on, guys. Jack wouldn't like to see you two like this," Letty said trying to comfort her family.
"Letty's right. Mia, it's going to be okay," Brian tries to comfort his wife. "We are going to get Jack back from those motherfuckers. I promise you, babe," Brian continued with a genuine promising look.
"You're right," Mia stopped crying but not without a few sniffles left in her. "You're always right. We have to stay positive for Jack's sake".
"How did Verone come back in the picture, man?" Roman asked very frustrated and scared as he remembered his and Brian's experience with that thug.
"Who is Carter Verone?" Dom asked as he wasn't involved with that.
"He was this drug lord in Miami that Rome, Tej, and I took down in order for me to get pardoned for letting you go while I was a cop," Brian explained.
"Well, what does he have to do with Braga?" Sean asked as he senses there has to be some connection between the two villains.
Brian thought about it for a moment and then..."Elena, do you have the security footage of Braga's prison break?" he asked Elena. Elena then went on her iPad to get the security footage and then confirmed..."Got it!"
Everyone then watched the footage where they see Verone's masked team on the prison grounds and they see Verone himself take off his mask and introduce himself to Braga.
"So, Verone is the unknown ally that helped Braga break out of prison and now they're working together to take us all out" Hobbs concluded.
"Tej, we're going to need the profiles of each of their team members right away," Dom ordered.
"You got it!" Tej confirmed as he loves Jack and would do anything to get that boy back.
"Now, everybody else, we're going to need a strategy in case those bastards dare come after us or hold Jack as ransom," Dom said as he suggested a couple of possibilities of what might happen. "And Brian..." he warned Brian, "Don't let your rage control you nor affect our operation. That would put Jack in harm's way".
"I'll try," Brian promised. "But if Jack is already in harm's way, I am going to fuckin' kill them".
"Way to control your rage, man," Roman sarcastically noted.
Meanwhile, Verone and his men return to their own hideout that they share with Braga with Jack in tow, still bound and gagged. "Here it is, kid. Home sweet home. Where no one can hear you scream," Verone teased him, then took his gag off.
"Please let me go and leave us alone," Jack pleaded with tears in his eyes.
"Oh, no can do. You should know that when people are bad, they must be punished. Well, your dad never got his punishment," Verone refused. At that moment, Braga walked in with some of their team members.
"Hey, Braga. Guess what I brought home," Verone announced with that evil smirk again.
Braga then took a look at Jack's face then said, "He's got his father's face. It really pisses me off. It makes me want to take this knife and stab his leg just like his father did with mine," which got Jack to widen his eyes and quiver a little bit.
"Slow down, chief," Verone managed to calm down Braga. "Why don't we have a little fun first?", which is now getting Jack really nervous.
"You'll never get away with this! They're going to find you guys and make you pay" Jack stated trying to be brave although it is obvious he's still scared about what's going to happen. Braga then looks like he's about to take out his knife again and do what he threatened to do, but Verone managed to control him.
"You got lucky," Verone hissed at Jack, "But any more from you and I won't stop him this time," he later threatened. "Now, Roberto, Enrique, drag the little brat over there. We're going to send a little message".
Meanwhile back at the Toretto team's hideout, Tej is going over the profiles of their targets with Mia, Hobbs, and Elena helping, Roman, Leo, and Santos are checking out their new high-tech weapons, and the rest are checking out their cars. Then suddenly...
"Dom, we have a video message sent to us," Tej reported which got everybody's attention, and Dom answered, "Show it". Tej then opens the video message which features Verone, Braga, Roberto, Enrique, and Jack still tied up, but back to being gagged.
"Hola, Toretto and O'Conner," Braga started, "Long time, no see. Nice kid you got, O'Conner. And he's got your face too. You're lucky that I didn't mix him up with you and done what I could've done to you back in prison," he then said while smirking which is getting Brian all red with fury.
"Hey, O'Conner. Remember me?" Verone then started talking, "And you too, Pearce, if you're watching this," which then got Roman's attention. "Hey, do you guys remember that crooked cop, Detective Whitworth? And when I tortured him with a rat, a welder, and a bucket? Well, what I can do to the kid is much worse," which is now getting the team all worried.
Verone then pulls out a container which is contained with a branch, some sand, and most importantly...a snake! "This is the Chain Viper Snake, one of the most venomous species of snake in the world shipped all the way from China. Want to say hello to the snakey, Jack?" Verone then picked up the closed container and held it to Jack's face while Enrique pulls Jack's gag off.
"N...N...No, thank you," Jack whimpered as he sees the snake staring at him, "I'm t...t...terrified of snakes".
Verone then takes a piece of paper, then says to Jack, "Well, if you want the snake to go away, why don't you read this piece of paper right there?", then waves it over to Jack's face while holding it.
Jack then starts to read the paper, "You guys have a chance to come and rescue me for a limited time of 48 hours. If you guys die or fail by that time, I will gain a pain in the neck literally...by the snake!" he then exclaimed which is now getting him even more terrified. "P...P...Please hurry!" Jack finishes while Enrique puts his gag back on and drags him to another room.
"Si, hurry," Braga finished the message. The Toretto team is now horrified and filled with fueled rage that these villains would be sick enough to torture an innocent young boy like that especially Mia who becomes filled with tears again and Brian who then slammed his fist on a table.
"Those lowlife bastards," Hobbs muttered to himself.
"That's it! I am going to fuckin' kill those sons of bitches and you can't stop me!" Brian exclaimed to Dom.
"Who's stopping you, O'Conner? I'm with you!" Dom bellowed his support. "Now, everybody, let's get to work!" to which everybody hurried along what they were doing previously. They've got Jack and found a way to torture him viciously. Now, this is personal!
